I mean the emperor sort of is giant fascistic pile of shit canonically...
The choice was no accident :D
Only if you buy into the weird fanboy version that got regurgitated by the /nazichan degenerates for years and years
He knew what was coming. He saw a narrow plan to circumvent it, and in the end when it failed he gave up his life and his only chance to because of his love of humanity.
Now you can fault him for being impatient, too sparse with information and even prideful at times, but a fascist he was not.
To paraphrase Oll a bit; he needed nothing for himself. He would've been happy living in a cave or on a barren moor for all that he cared, but the rest of humanity needed that symbol to rally around, and so he built it. Malcador has several thoughts regarding this subject, as do several others in His close vicinity.
There are quite the selection of reading material on the matter if you really care.
Regardless of what the Empire became after the heresy you cannot put everything on the Emperor's feet.
